Yaad-e-ghazaal-chashma'n Zikr-e-saman-azaara'n

Yaad-e-ghazaal-chashma'n zikr-e-saman-azaara'n,
Jab chaha kar liya hai kunj-e-qafas bahaara'n,

Aankhon mein dard-mandi honthon pe uzr-khwahi,
Jaanana waar aai shaam-e-firaq-e-yara'n,

Namoos-e-jaan-o-dil ki baazi lagi thi warna,
Aasaan na thi kuchh aisi raah-e-wafa-shiaara'n,

Mujrim ho khwah koi rahta hai naasehon ka,
Ru-e-sukhan hamesha su-e-jigar-figaara'n, 

Hai ab bhi waqt zahid tarmim-e-zuhd kar le,
Su-e-haram chala hai amboh-e-baada-khwara'n,

Shayad qareeb pahunchi subah-e-wisaal humdam,
Mauj-e-saba liye hai khushbu-e-khush-kinaara'n,

Hai apni kisht-e-veeraan sarsabz is yaqeen se,
Aayenge is taraf bhi ek roz abr-o-baaraa,n,

Aayegi 'Faiz' ek din baad-e-bahaar le kar,
Taslim-e-may-farosha'n paigham-e-may-gusaara'n..!!
